The Toronto Consort is Canada's leading chamber ensemble specializing in the music of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Formed in 1972, the Consort presents an annual series of concerts in Toronto, and performs throughout Canada, the United States, Great Britain and Europe. It has performed and collaborated with many leading early music specialists and often works in collaboration with other artists such as actors, dancers and visual artists to produce concerts which have dramatic as well as musical appeal. Recent projects have included all three Monteverdi operas performed in concert; a fully-staged production of a new transcription of The Play of Daniel; A Celtic Christmas with Puirt a Baroque; evenings of Renaissance dance with the Ken Pierce Dance Company; From Medieval to Millennial, a multi-media evening with video projections and Inuit throat-singer; and An Elizabethan Entertainment with Veronica Tennant. The Consort also recorded the soundtrack for the Academy-nominated film The Sweet Hereafter. $24
